I was thinking a little about MTJ's career trajectory earlier and came to the realization that his stint with Furniture Row was pretty much the same situation as Brawn GP's time in F1: a team that wasn't exactly new gets a complete facelift, hires a driver or two (Truex/Button/Barrichello) who'd found moderate success over the years despite being thrown around between more rides than anyone can count, finds the perfect people to lead the strategy and car development sides of racing, and has lightning in a bottle that makes them absolutely dominate the series with wins & a title... until the organization ceases to exist soon after and is merged into another behemoth (JGR/Mercedes).
What other teams, whether in NASCAR or IndyCar or elsewhere, have had this kind of thing happen?
I got a 195 USD shipped deal for Barney Ross from Expendables 1(not the later one),is it a good figure,does it hold up over time?
Granted, Robin didn't love Ted and that's totally understandable but in my opinion, the relationship that Ted and Robin shared with each other was a very healthy one compared to the one that Barney and Robin had. By a huge margin I think. I'm currently on my second watchthrough of Friends right now so that's why I spoke about Ross and Rachel in the title. I'm on this episode where Rachel finds that list and she loses all interest in Ross over a stupid list. After she ruined his relationship just because she couldn't have him, she just drops him because he's no longer desirable because he is something she can have. I really don't like Rachel. I really don't. HIMYM on the other hand is different. I mean all the characters are great. Lily is my least favourite but I don't dislike her as much as I do Rachel. Ted and Robin were meant to be together. I really just don't know what it is that kept them from just being with each other. I know that Robin didn't love Ted, but sometimes I feel like she did. Like when they were dating in early on in the show, Robin did tell Ted that she does love him on her own. But then when she thought he proposed at the restaurant, her reaction told a whole other story. I'm not sure what it is. What do you guys think?

FRIENDS vs HIMYM vs Brooklyn Nine Nine
-
a triple threat hand to hand match to death
-
fight takes place in a new york alley, they all start 10 meters away from each other
-
all are in their casual clothes, team B99 doesn't have access to their police equipment
Which team would have the last man/men standing?
Their goal:
Ross's goal: Get Robin to fall in love with him.
Barney's goal: Get Rachel to fall in love with him.
Whoever succeeds in starting a relation ship first, wins.
Rules: Both characters are as they were in season one of their respective shows. They can call upon their friends for support when needed.
Round One: Barney in the Friends universe, hanging around from the perspective of the Friends audience. Technology level around 1995 (Barney will act as if this is his timeline too. He will will be as tech savvy as a normal mid 90's New Yorker and won't know about newer technology).
Round Two: Ross in the How I Met Your Mother universe, hanging around from the perspective of the HIMYM audience. Technology of about 2007 (Ross will act as if this is familiar technology to him, he will know what a normal mid 2000's New Yorker would know).
Bonus Round: Ross and Barney as their characters were in the last season of their shows. No friends to help them, in 2019.

Looking to have it shipped for $140.00 I can be a bit more flexible on the price because it isn't brand new, it was displayed, but not in a detolf. Nothing outside the US for shipping unless the buyer is willing to pay higher shipping to their location. Cleaned the figure completely as seen in the pictures, also only items taken out and displayed are in the pictures everything else was not touched and stays in brand new mint condition.
Group brawl, taking place in a restaurant. Both groups aren't the best fighters - Joey and Marshall are really the only heavy hitters on either side so I'm curious as to who takes this.
Round 1: a straight up melee battle.
Round 2: everyone has a pistol.
Round 3: A drinking competition.
Full on fistfight between both groups, all characters being in their prime (mid-late 20s) in a dark alley in Queens, NY.
Who wins, who whines?
